    • Ideal for cleaning pipelines, tanks, and other industrial equipment.
  • Sanitization:
    • Used as a cleaning agent to sanitize surfaces in food and beverage production facilities.

Chemical Synthesis in Food Industry

  • Ingredient Preparation:
    • Assists in the production of food-grade chemicals like monosodium glutamate (MSG).
    • Used in the refining of edible oils and fats.
  • Neutralization Reactions:
    • Neutralizes acids in food production processes for safety and stability.

Laboratory and Quality Control

  • Analytical Testing:
    • Commonly used in titration procedures to determine acidity in food products.
  • Sample Preparation:
    • Ensures precise chemical reactions during laboratory testing and quality control in food industries.

Agriculture and Animal Feed

  • Processing Aid:
    • Used in the production of food-grade fertilizers and additives for animal feed.

Industrial Applications (Food-Safe Contexts)

  • Soap and Detergent Production:
    • Helps produce food-safe detergents for use in food-handling environments.
  • Cosmetic Formulation:
    • pH adjustment in food-safe skincare or cosmetic products like soaps and lotions.

Storage and Handling:

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent contamination.
  • Handling: Use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) and handle with care, as the solution is caustic and can cause irritation.

Safety Information:

⚠️ Warning: Sodium Hydroxide is highly alkaline and corrosive. Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.

  • First Aid:
    • Skin Contact: Wash immediately with soap and water.
